Solution
• An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located
within range of your route. Use the TrueLock feature to
filter this signal out.
• Make sure that windshield wipers do not block
PASSPORT’s radar antenna and that the laser lens is not
behind tinted areas.
• Determine if your vehicle has an Instaclear®,
ElectriClear® or solar reflective windshield which may
deflect radar or laser signals.

a stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
